Dungeon Tiles Master Set and other Essentials, I got a look

I just came back from the ACD Open House where I got a look at the Dungeon Tiles Master Set: The Dungeon.
They did not open wrapped package of 10 pages of tiles inside the box, so I did not see which tiles are there. But the tiles are the same quality and thickness as in the earlier tile set. Some of the tiles are direct reprints from earlier sets, and some are brand new. But there is extra quality in the package.

The set comes with a sleeve describing the product so it looks good on store shelves, but the box itself becomes 2 pieces of terrain; the lid is 1 inch high, the box is 2 inches. All printed, sides included, as a large elevated dungeon tile. The next 2 sets will have box designs to match the set themes.

Looking good. For the same price per tile as the recent sets ($2 per tile) you get some new tiles, some tiles no longer available, plus a storage box that doubles as more terrain.

Besides the boxes themselves acting as terrain do you happen to know if there's any 3D pieces (stairs etc) like Desert of Athas?
Sorry, I didn't notice anything on the package about that, but I could have missed it. I was concerned mostly about the tile quality and the box as terrain. Wish I had spent more time with this, as well as the Compendium, the Dungeon Master's Set, and the Monster Vault.
 

By the way, the DM set has a 4-panel laminated landscape-oriented DM screen thast is thinner like those for 3E, but there will be the Deluxe screen coming out that is heavy like the 4E screen.
 

The new lay-flat softcovers are nice, do lay flat, and are stitched, not just glue-bindings.

Awesome info, I was really interested on how the new books were going to be bound. How different is the deluxe DM screen from the existing 4E screen, is it just updated charts or did they actually add more information to it?

Sorry, did not get a chance to compare charts. Seemed mostly the same.
